A patient displays signs of agitation after an adjustment in their medication. the patient threatens to hit another patient. which response by the nurse is appropriate?



Answer :

An appropriate response to a patient who displays signs of agitation after an adjustment in their medication by threatening to hit another patient is that she tells the patient to never hurt someone and that they will assist the patient if the patient is unable to manage themselves.

The limits must be established to de-escalate the situation when the patient is unable to regulate his or her behavior, shows signs of agitation and violates or threatens to violate the rights of others. Limits should be established in plain, unambiguous words. The improper response is to ask a rhetorical question, fail to provide the patient with the necessary aid, and threaten to punish the patient with seclusion.
